I presume that you are creating some web based software which writes .sav files.
One option that you have, is to use PSPP's perl module instead of this tiamo package.

I'm facing a tough bug in my software and I'm looking for some help to be able to take the next steps. Our software generates sav files via tiamo's package: https://packagist.org/packages/tiamo/spss Usually, everything works fine, but in some cases, we generate malformed files. In this case, SPSS crashes without any notice, however, PSPP at least gives a useful error message: Variable index n refers to long string continuation. I cannot reproduce this issue on my side, so I tried to reverse engineer the PSPP codebase to find any cases when it could occur. So far not with much luck. Could you help me with some example cases? Thanks for your help, Istv??n
